Since I'm done with the bad place, need to get Tommy content up. Throw back to the era where Tommy terrorized our kitchen by opening the freezer.
American Beauty creeped me out in 1999 and nothing has changed that opinion.

The sun set at 1:36 p.m. today in Utqiavik, Alaska. The next sunrise will be January 22, when it comes up at 1:15 p.m. and sets 48 minutes later.

“Fuck you. You’re not even real Minnesotans. You’re all from Canada.”

A real thing a federal agent yelled in my face today when I asked if he liked his job after they had hauled my wife away.

Clearly far *FAR* from the most important thing that happened today but, wtf? Weird shit.

No institution or person who caved or caves to Trump can ever be fully trusted again. This includes many universities and the people who run them and the owners of many news orgs. Remember their names and deeds.
*Every single* institution, organization, and individual who caved into Trump already looks worse for having done so.

And every one that stood up continues to look better.
Man, CBS must feel really stupid right now!

Just kidding, CBS wasn't settling a lawsuit. They were paying a bribe and they knew it.

Wonderful news.
Update to the update:

Katie has been released. We’re going to have a drink and then go hug our kids.

More later.

Update:

Katie just called me. She is being held by Homeland Security at the Whipple Federal Building down by the airport.

They have not told her anything. No word on release, no word on charges. Nothing. Ridiculous. But she is fine and in good spirits.

Her attorney is en route there right now.

In Minnesota, #1 top slop is the hot beef plate (also called "hot beef commercial", which alludes that it's an old-school diner staple?).
Longtime MNsotans know this to be true. Don't talk to me✋about Jucy Lucy 🍔🧀, that's food for the tourists.

Approaching 3 hours since Katie was cuffed and taken by masked federal agents while peacefully protesting and filming today and our lawyers still can’t get anyone to tell us where they actually took her.

Fucking absurd.

#OnThisDay Nov 18, 1985: A 70 mph gale drives the Greek-owned Liberian-flagged freighter "Socrates" aground on Minnesota Point, after the saltwater captain underestimates the power of @lakesuperior.bsky.social. 1000s of tourists come to view the event on buses. She is finally freed 6 days later.

I’m deleting my post about this story while I confirm it’s a credible source. The author does legitimate reporting in the region but I can’t vouch for the outlet so I shouldn’t have shared. I apologize for jumping the gun before verifying.

This is still true, 5 years later.

No regrets for muting Keith's account sometime like a year ago.

well SOMEBODY is terrified by the election results this month in her state
Rep. Jen Kiggans, R-Va., author of a 1-year ACA funding bill, spoke in today’s GOP caucus meeting to urge colleagues to act. She’s open to alternatives to her plan, but wants a timeline. “We need to be doing something,” she tells me. “I don't want to see people's premiums go up.”

My coparent informed me that the 7yo now knows the word fuck because she read it in a picture of herself that popped up in photo memories on her iPad.

Remember when Keith had a weird Harry Potter themed profile pic on Twitter back in the late 2000s and early 2010s?

Finally!

My new book Boarding Schools and the Indigenous Story is a comprehensive history of the efforts of the US government to remove native children from their families, from colonization to today. For middle grades, but for everyone.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

This seems like game of ad libs. The next name is probably going to be Alex Jones.
